Game Notes

  • Paul George & CJ Miles will not play tonight or tomorrow against Golden State. McMillan hopes they can return later in the week. — Nate Taylor, IndyStar
  • Kerr: “That’s what Draymond does. He sees the game. He knows what’s coming. He anticipates plays. … I’ve seen that before. Draymond is unbelievable in those situations.” — Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
  • That the Warriors’ recent surge – a seven-game winning streak in which the team has recorded at least 30 assists in each contest – has coincided with Thompson regaining the stroke that had mysteriously disappeared is no coincidence. And the reason Thompson is suddenly drilling those corner three-pointers and pull-up heat-checks didn’t require any special remedies – only an attitude adjustment. “Sticking with it and not getting discouraged. I knew I was going to have a good year if I just play hard every night. It’s that simple,” Thompson told The Vertical. “Nothing I really changed. I kept my same routine. I just think I let a few missed shots get to me. And I realized I’m too good to do that.” — Michael Lee, The Vertical
  • “We needed to play with more force; we got really stagnant,” Kerr said. “We were throwing a lot of very poor post feeds. We were trying to pick miss matches and throw these lazy lob passes over the top. That slowed us down quite a bit. We need to play with more force, harder cutting, better screening. You don’t want to just stop playing at the end of a game.” — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
